Punked Up Kicks

I have another swatch of a gorgeous indie glitter polish given to me by a good friend! So here's what I did:

1 coat Nail Magic
1 coat Orly Tough Cookie (for the peeling awesomeness of it!)
1 coat Gelous
3 coats Milani 3D Holographic Green
2 coats Hit Polish Punked Up Kicks
1 coat Seche Vite

Again, with the Milani Holo, it was thin and I had to do 3 coats to make it opaque. But I love the coarse rainbow of these polishes!!!! Hit Polish is phenomenal! So smooth, no fishing, and gorgeous!!!! The little green holo glitters went beautifully with this Milani polish! I wanted to swatch a lot last night, but after putting this mani together, I couldn't take it off!! Stunning!!

Have you tried Hit Polish???

Until next time...

Silly Lilly Polish

I got an epic nail mail package from a friend recently, and she sent me a ton of indie polish minis from people I've never purchased from! This manicure show cases one of them!

Here's what I did:
1 coat Nail Magic
1 coat Orly Tough Cookie
1 coat Gelous
2 coats Milani 3D Holographic Gold
2 thin coats Silly Lilly Polish: Christmas Boo Boo
1 coat Seche Vite

I love both of these polishes!!! The Milani was a bit thin, so an undie polish should have been used. It was almost opaque in two coats! But the rainbow was gorgeous! It is a coarse holo! The indie polish was amazing! Went on like butter, and I didn't have to fish for glitters!!! Every girls dream!!!

Have you ever used Silly Lilly Polishes???

Until next time...

Blue Midnight

I have another polish from Pure Ice's Velour line!! I am absolutely loving every single polish in this line, and I can't wait to try the others!!!

Here's what I did:
1 coat Nail Magic
1 coat Gelous
2 coats Pure Ice Blue Midnight
No top coat

I love how silky these feel, and the way they look. I am in looooove!!!

Hope you enjoy this mani!
Until next time....

Big Apple Red

A few days ago I did this manicure. I absolutely loved how it looked! My only issue was with the Elf glitter polish. So let me tell you what I did and then I will go into the issues I had.

1 coat Nail Magic
1 coat Orly Tough Cookie (this base coat polish peels off wonderfully!)
1 coat Gelous
2 coats NYC Big APPLE red
1 coat Elf glitter polish
1 coat Seche Vite

The reason why I do not like this elf polish is purely because it stinks. It literally smells so bad. Not like a normal nail polish smell. It made me so nauseous. I love the gold glitter and I love the holo hex glitters, I just cannot stand the smell. Blegh.

I really love this red polish! It's a good red, cleans up well, and only needed two coats!

Until next time...

Pure Ice Velour

When I heard that Pure Ice came out with a velour line, I almost peed my pants!!! I love it when polishes dry to a silky, velvet like finish. So naturally I dashed to Walmart to *hopefully* find the whole line! I found 9 out of 11! Good haul for me!!

Since I'm on a gradient kick, I couldn't wait to see how these velour polishes would look in an ombré mani!!!

So here's what I did:
1 coat Nail Magic
1 coat Gelous
Then I used Pure Ice: Grunge, Touch Me Softly, and Temptress for the gradient

One photo is shown with no top coat, and one is shown with 1 coat Seche Vite.

Which is your favorite!?

I can't wait to do some stamping and simple manis with these polishes. They're opaque and gorgeous!!!

Do you own any from this line? What do you think??

Until next time...

I love gradients

I have a fabulous mani to share with you all! I did these a little while back. (sorry about blog spam, I'm seriously trying to catch up!)

Here's what I did:
1 coat Nail Magic
1 coat Gelous
1 coat NYC French White Tip
Then using a makeup sponge, I used NYC Times Square, Spoiled Let's Get Sushi and Julep Alicia for the gradient.
1 coat China Glaze Fairy Dust
1 coat Seche Vite


I really enjoy doing "ombré" or gradient manicures. They're so much fun to do and to look at!! ;)

The only issue I had with this manicure was using NYC Times Square for this gradient. I didn't realize it was a jelly before I started using it. So it didn't show up or blend as well as I would have liked. Still a pretty good turn out! :)

Hope you enjoy!! <3

Until next time...

It's a Trap-eze!

I absolutely love this polish from China Glaze! I am a huge sucker for any white polish with colorful glitters. I own quite a few!
When I saw this polish from the cirque du soleil line, I had to have it!!

Here's what I did:
1 coat Nail Magic
1 coat Gelous
1 coat NYC French White Tip
2 coats China Glaze It's a Trap-eze
1 coat Seche Vite

I added a fimo star to my ring finger nails. I absolutely love how this turned out!

What do you think???

Until next time...

Chic Reloaded

Good afternoon! As I am catching up with blogging, I have a manicure I did a little while back to share with you all!
Here is Essence Chic Reloaded. Here's what I did:
1 coat Nail Magic
1 coat Gelous
2 coats Essence Chic Reloaded
1 coat Seche Vite

Here is why I love this polish: it was opaque in 2 coats! I have two other polishes that are similar in their duochrome awesomeness, but this one is for sure my favorite. No under color used, just the polish by itself. Awesome!!

Have you tried this polish? What do you think of it??

Until next time....
